photo_search not matching website search #5

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve photos through the photo_search function, but I don't think this is matching the website search. I have an API key, but keep getting 

Error in photo_search(text = "cacomistle") : 
  No photographs meeting criteria

Despite photos appearing online. Let me know if you need more detail. Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry for the slow reply. The error you are experiencing is probably due to the mindate_taken and maxdate_taken fields being defaulted to "2019-01-01". If you set these to a wider search you should get results as expected.

Kindest regards, Nathan
